How to Make the Most of Your Time in Melbourne

The Velgy Bunch enjoy a good coffee hit, sampling delicious food, and we are always up for having a great time! If you want to see some of the things we will be doing when we are in Melbourne for the 2017 VET CEO Conference, check out our ‘ideas’ list below. You may just see us around!

Starting off your day with a good coffee hit is crucial (obviously!!), and Melbourne is definitely renowned for their cute laneway coffee shops. So, if you make your way to Market Lane, you will be bound to find some of the cutest coffee shops in town. AND it is only a 12 minute walk from Park Hyatt Melbourne; don’t be late to registration though, conference registration will commence at 7.30am.

Food will be supplied at the Conference on Friday, but if you are staying the weekend in Melbourne, make sure you check out some of our favourite restaurants:

• Little Collins St Kitchen 
• Mamasita
• Hihou
• Bottega
• Fancy Hank’s
• Grossi Florentino - The Grill
• Locanda Restaurant & Bar
• Tonka

If you don’t want the party to stop after the 2017 VET CEO Conference Networking Drinks have come to an end, grab your new friends and head to Good Heavens Rooftop Bar for some Friday afternoon drinks. Sip a delicious cocktail or enjoy a cold craft beer; they have ten taps pouring.

Did someone say wine time? If you are staying the weekend, the Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tour is a must.  The tour departs from Her Majesty's Theatre, (corner of Exhibition & Little Bourke Streets) which is just a 10-minute walk from Park Hyatt Melbourne.  That’s pretty convenient if you ask us. If you want to stay in town though, you could head to the HOYTS Cinema to see a movie, or even to Luna Park for an afternoon of fun.

If you see one of the Velgy Bunch out and about while you are in Melbourne, come and say “hi”, don’t be shy! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
